Fusion energy: Progress, partnerships, and the path to deployment
Over the past decade, fusion energy has moved decisively from scientific aspiration toward a credible pathway to a new energy technology. Thanks to long-term federal support, we have significantly advanced our fundamental understanding of plasma physics—the behavior of the superheated gases at the heart of fusion devices. This knowledge will enable the creation and control of fusion fuel under conditions required for future power plants. Our progress is exemplified by breakthroughs at the National Ignition Facility and the Joint European Torus.

Excess heat evolution was measured on nickel, gold, silver, and tin in aqueous K2CO3, Na2CO3, Na2SO4, and Li2SO4 solutions under galvanostatic electrolysis conditions. Steady evolution of excess heat in various electrode-electrolyte systems, but not in Ni/Na2CO3, Ni/Na2SO4, and Ni/Li2SO4, was observed for at least several days of observation. The largest excess heat observed was 907 mW on tin in K2SO4.
